PC'S Are Not Always My Friend!!
Okay, so it has taken me almost 45 minutes to get logged on to my gmail account just so I could post this. It must be the Halloween Spirits working against me here at Sue's Java. So Happy Halloween to all! More later, that is, if I can get back in here.

First Attempt Not so bad!
This is the cut out fabric |
After I checked it closely for any mistakes, I had Tim (who sews all the time at his work), look at it. Wouldn't you know it, he found a boo boo. But with a bit of hand stitching I fixed it and will know not to make the same mistake on the next one.
I made the Piping from the same fabric |
I sewed it on to one piece of the fabric first |
All done. |

Trying something new!
I figured since I have some spare time on my hands before I return back to work, I would try my hand at a fun project. I have been looking for "French" looking pillows to put in the guest room that once housed "Sweet Child of Mine" Laney. But now that she has moved out I decided to remodel it in a French decor'.
I have been going to garage sales picking up items here and there but haven't found the pillows I like. Now I could go and buy them in a store or on line, but the cost is a bit more than I'd like to spend. So....
after doing some investigating on line, I went to my local Joann's Fabric store and found some material that I really liked. I also bought some ribbon to add to some of the pillows.
I am going to be daring and not use a pattern! My Dad always told me, "if all else fails, follow the directions". So we shall see.. In the photo is the fabric I purchased. So, I will post photos of my progress along the way, and the final results. So check back to see how it goes!
Barn Sale Finds
Treasure Hunting I Have Gone
I found out about this great "Barn Sale" last Saturday so I marked my the date and went this morning! It was fabulous. So many vendors for the first time that was selling things I LOVE. I will have to add the pictures of the items I purchased tomorrow.
Even though I have never been to one of the "Farm Chicks" sales, I have seen photos and it was very much like what they put on. Here in Redding California of all places! They plan to have this event twice a year, spring and fall. Can't wait till Spring!!

Just one of the many booths |
Loved this little crown |
Wanted this bed for my new Guest Room but too big |
Perfect day for a Barn Sale |
